![]() ![]() Based on prior history, this is a very promising sign!Įdit: It appears that the WiFi dongle is attempting to get a new IP address every 5 minutes or so, in CLEAR violation of the lease period that was issued to it (2 hrs). So, I updated the DHCP configuration to specify the desired IP address, and thought I'd have to wait for the DHCP lease to the dongle to be renewed (1 hr), but in a couple minutes, the dongle picked up the new IP address, which I can ping. Then I realized that I had configured my DHCP server to give the dongle a different IP address from the one I wanted it to have. Configured the WiFi dongle (WPA2 infrastructure), and then it successfully connected to my WiFi network.Ħ. Note minor bug: while the screen remains lit during the scanner update, the background light is off during the dongle update.ĥ. Turned on the scanner (with the WiFi dongle already connected), and it immediately updated the scanner firmware and then (after a short delay) updated the WiFi dongle firmware. Properly ejected the card from the PC and inserted it into the scanner.Ĥ. Ran Sentinel to "update" the firmware (actually, on the card).ģ. Turned off scanner, removed the 16GB SanDisk microSD card, and inserted in into my PC.Ģ. Here, due to the cable layout in my home, I varied the procedure:ġ. Uninstalled and reinstalled, now I could "pin" the button. Installed on top of the previous version, and the program would open just fine, but I could not "pin" the Windows 7 task bar button. So, on the Uniden installation page, I skipped down to the Sentinel installation. My WiFi dongle had the 4.x firmware and of course could not hold a connection any longer than a baby can hold his. Someone else here probably can get that going. It should be noted that there is also an Icecast streaming option in the drop down under step 5 above, however I could not get that method to successfully establish a connection. This also allows you to access the stream on your phone/tablet using a scanner app that accepts custom url's.įYI - The audio is "ok" (a bit tin can sounding) using this method and I have not tried any other audio configuration other than the one noted above. Once this was done, I was able to listen to the BCD536HP audio over the internet via any media player using the standard HTTP url protocol: (IP address is the one assigned by your ISP to your router, not the PC's IP). NOTE: Port Forwarding of 8080 was set-up on my router and directed to the IP of the PC where VLC is running (not the scanner's IP). ![]() On the Option Setup screen, click Stream. On the Transcoding screen, change the profile to Audio - MP3. The next screen will show the port to be used for streaming (default is 8080) along with a path. Click on File and then choose HTTP in the drop down. Your rtsp url will appear as the source.ĥ. Click on Stream at bottom right and Stream again in the drop down. Click on Network and put rtsp://192.168.1.x/au: in the text box (make sure to use your scanner's IP in the url).ģ. Run VLC and click on Media, then Stream in the drop downĢ. Streaming BCD536HP Over The Internet Using VLC:ġ. The method I used is noted below and required Port Forwarding. Who knows? Maybe it will help someone else.įYI for those that are interested, I was able to successfully stream the scanner audio over the internet using VLC. If it turns out to not help, there's always the "reset preferences" button to undo what I just did. This means that two of the ports VLC is not using are 81.Īt this point, I don't know what I just described is noise or not. Here's how:Ģ) select the Tools->Preferences menu itemģ) in the lower left corner, select "all" under Show SettingsĤ) under Input / Codecs -> Demuxers -> RTP/RTSP, the second setting is "client port" I did manage to get VLC to assign a few of its used ports consistently. Hopefully, Uniden will get us some instructions for route setup to allow remote connections. I've even gone as far as watching network traffic over WireShark. I'm still not having any luck connecting audio from outside my local network. No luck with mplayer, winamp, wmp, Media Player Classic, RealPlayer. ![]()
